FINANCIAL AND ATMOSPHERIC.

To the Editor op the 'Evening Mail.' Sir— lt ia generally supposed that our Institute is suffering f rom a thronfe at *te 0 f impecuniosity. Weil, actuated by a spirit of t>Te pur. at philanthropy, a auggestionia no* offere 1 by me 'hat may greatly modify, if not entirely remove, this r. ry unhappy state oi ; affairs. My proposition ii that the Committee shall provide a large st ck of the warmest and heaviest blanket, obtainable, and let the frequenters of the uews room hire them at a price to be fixed, say per fifteen minutes. In the present atate of the atmosphere the market report will aureiv be "demand lively," perhaps even « competition brisk." In the very improbable contingency, however, of this plan not b^ing a perfect success, another project ia respectfully submitted. Let th? papers, periodicals, &c , bs removed, snd the room us d for the storage of ice, for whicn it appears to be most peculiarly and admirably adapted. My anticipations of gratitude in respeot to the above advice are not by any means excessive Something moderate in that direction will be deemed amply sufficient by Yours &c, R. Freeman.
